The team at NameBright will be performing routine maintenance tomorrow, Thursday November 13th at 1:30 PM Mountain Standard Time. Please note all DNS server functions will remain up and running during this scheduled maintenance window, but access to our website at http://www.NameBright.com might be down for up to 1 hour.

We just deployed a new transfer process for automating bulk transfers of domain names between registrars. If you are transferring hundreds or thousands of domains and having issues with the process, contact us directly and ask about our bulk transfer processes. We can help automate collection of authorization codes (if sent via email), and can now help you automate the approval of FOA emails. If your current registrar is not helping you as they should – give NameBright a try!

Due to reports that our website had issues on Sunday night we are currently making a patch to fix this. Please note this only affects our website at http://www.NameBright.com and DNS servers are still up and running and having no issues. Your domains and email will continue to work as expected while the frontend of our site gets this needed upgrade. We will update this post when the upgrade is complete.

If you have not already been made aware, a major SSL security issue was uncovered this week. We wanted to update our customers that NameBright does not use or rely on OpenSSL, and therefore our systems are unaffected from the Heartbleed security bug. You can remain confident in our security protocols and nothing needs to be done on your end.

We are upgrading a minor items in our database and had to go offline for a few minutes. DNS is working, email is working, all customer sites are working. The frontend of NameBright.com will be back up very shortly.

The low $4.99 .com new-registration promotion we ran during November is most likely going to be extended all the way through the end of the year! We will keep you updated as we finalize the details, but you can expect the same low price promo in December once again!
